Francis of Assisi
The Father willed that his blessed and glorious Son, whom he gave to us and who was born for us, should through his own blood offer himself as a sacrificial victim on the altar of the cross. This was to be done not for himself through whom all things were made, but for our sins.

The poets' scrolls will outlive the monuments of stone...You only live once...To me there is no picture so beautiful as smiling...There will be days when you feel defeated...I have had fatwas issued against me...Things have their root and their branches...
